So the ARIA's are on the Telly! - PART ONE

And a while back, I predicted the winners, let's see how I went:

1.  Best Independent Release:

Dappled Cities – Lake Air

Katie Noonan and Karin Schaupp – Songs of the Southern Skies
San Cisco – Awkward
The Bamboos – Medicine Man
The Jezabels - Prisoner - 1/1 picked it, go the Jezabels!   2.  Best Rock Album:   Children Collide – Monument
Cold Chisel – No Plans
Oh Mercy – Deep Heat
The Jezabels – Prisoner
The Temper Trap – The Temper Trap - 1/2 I thought the Jezabels did a better job and the industry folk would roll with the indie kids from Sydney.

3.  Breakthrough Artist - Release:

360 – Falling & Flying - 2/3, too easy, 360 has a large following and I think will continue to grow in 2013.

Alpine – A Is For Alpine
Lanie Lane – To The Horses
Matt Corby – Brother
San Cisco – Awkward

4.  Best Dance Release:

Havana Brown – When The Lights Go Out
Hermitude – Hyperparadise
Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl feat. Georgi Kay – In My Mind - 2/4 50% ain't bad so early on, right?  Apparently Sneaky Sound System were also nominated which I didn't make my list I was going off, they kinda deserve an award, at least they admitted they were a couple recently.  I really wish those lovely Blue Mountains folks Hermitude won, oh well let's get the next award on Go!
Knife Party – Rage Valley

5. Best Australian Live Act:

Never predicted this one, don't know why, hmmm weird, but hey Goyte won for Making Mirrors Album Tour.  Just one note Tom Ballard looked really terrible, WTF, random WTF.

> Yothu Yindi get inducted into the hall of fame after Mauboy, Kelly, Garrett & Dan Sultan join the group at the old Entertainment Centre for a massive version of the hit tune "Treaty".

Highlight so far for part one of this BLOG entry defo Missy Higgin's "Everyone's Waiting" performance which just showed she still has it and that the single is simply pure gold!

Let's get set for PART TWO of So the ARIA's are on the Telly!
